We’re hiring a Lead Creative Technologist to build and run the industry’s #1 video preset library.
A preset is how AI Producer (AIP) edits: the cut rhythm, the hook, the captions, the B-roll, the music, and the motion that turn a raw upload into a video people finish watching. You own two things. Inside the product, the presets AIP ships with and the system taste prompts that decide what “good” looks like. Outside the product, our open preset library: the public collection creators install, star, and share, and our main organic growth channel.
This is a creator-operator role. You edit video at a high level, you see styles rising before they peak, and you can turn a reference into a preset others reuse. You run the library like a product: ship weekly, measure what lands, cut what doesn’t. You do it with coding agents in the loop, and you build in public as you go.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
•Own the in-product presets and taste prompts. Define, author, and curate every preset AIP ships and the system prompts behind them. Write the taste rubric: the specific criteria for pacing, hooks, captions, B-roll, and music that separate a good edit from a passable one. Maintain golden and held-out test sets of real footage, evaluate every system prompt change against them, and show measurable progress release over release. Decide what ships and what gets cut.
•Grow the open preset library. Run it as our organic growth channel: publish presets, drive stars, impressions, and installs, and make it the place creators go for editing styles.
•Build in public. Prototype on the newest models and rendering techniques as they land, post what works, and turn every preset launch into reach for OpusClip and for yourself.
•Edit the way top creators edit. Pacing, hooks, B-roll, captions, music, and motion. Direct agents to cut, composite, and render in the browser, then review every frame until it clears the bar.
•Turn references into presets. Spot rising styles on TikTok, Reels, and YouTube, reverse-engineer what makes them work, and encode them as presets. Scale the reference library instead of hand-tuning prompts one at a time.
•Ship on a cadence. Weekly preset output with a review loop. Track usage and conversion for in-product presets; stars, impressions, and installs for the open library. Double down on what performs.
•Own it end-to-end. Scope the work, make the calls, ship without waiting for direction.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
•Video editing craft (hard requirement). Pacing, cut timing, B-roll selection, hooks and CTAs, captions, music and SFX. You’ve shipped short-form talking-head edits that performed, and you can explain why. Your portfolio shows those edits, not only motion pieces. Motion design is a plus, not a substitute.
•Trend sense. You watch what’s rising across platforms, you can name the style, and you can break a reference down into the choices that make it work.
•Reference-led thinking. You’d rather build a library of great references and derive from it than hand-tune prompts one at a time.
•Operator instincts. You’ve run something on a cadence with numbers attached: a channel, a template library, a content program, an open-source project. You know your metrics and you move them.
•Build-in-public track record. A social presence or GitHub profile where people can see what you make and how you think.
•AI-native by default. You already work as a manager of agents: writing specs, having one agent review another, and authoring prompts or skills that others build on, not just one-off generations.
•Comfortable in our stack. You can read and own browser code an agent helped write (HTML, GSAP, three.js), and you can open Figma or After Effects when a preset needs it. Editing craft comes first; we can teach the stack.
•Sharp taste. You can tell great from merely functional, and you know when the agent got it wrong.
•Judgment over tool fluency. Models will stay jagged and tools will keep changing. We care less about which stack you know and more about whether you make sound calls with little supervision.
•Experience leading a small creative or technical team, formally or as the person others look to for direction and review.
•Bonus: an audience of your own as a creator; 3D (Blender, Cinema 4D), shaders, creative coding, or generative/procedural effects.
HOW TO APPLY
Send us three things. Together they tell us most of what we need to know about your taste and how you work with agents.
1. Portfolio. Short-form talking-head edits first, then motion work, ideally some of it made with agents. Tell us which pieces performed and why.
2. Social or GitHub. Where you build in public: a channel, a profile, a repo. Anything with a history.
3.
WHY JOIN US
•Full-time, onsite in Mountain View, flexible, with immediate, visible impact.
•A fast-moving, globally recognized AI company at a pivotal moment.
•Rare creative ownership: build the library, run it, and build the team that does it with you.
